A Wonderful Surgical Experiment.

A miraculous surgical experiment has
been performed at Buffalo by DR.. George
e. Fell, professor of physiology at the
University of Niagara DR.. Fell is an en-.
thusiastic vivisectionist, and has made a
number of experiments whereby he claims
he has discovered a means OF saving hui
man life after the patient has taken
poison Several weeks ago man named
Patrick Burns, who had been on a de-
bauch, took large dose of morphia, and
was given up as dead. After Burns had
been unconscious for five hours, DIR. Fell
was called in. 1t had occurred to him
that if he had an artificial respiratory ap-
paratus he would be able to bring back
the patient to life. He had often applied
artificial respiration to dogs and cats at
college during his lectures, to show the
action of their hearts and lungs. Burns
was poor patient, and the physician had
very little hope Of being successful. There
was 10 pulse, and only slight futter
around the region of the heart, which
showed that it had not ceased to beat.
There were "a number Of physicians pres
= ent, and the experiment was considered a
chimerical one as far as success was con-
cerned. An incision was made Ia the
throat, and respiratory tube was placed
in the trachea. The blood which oozed
from the wound was dark coffee color.
The lungs Of the patient were useless, and
when air was blown into them they were
so stiff that they could not contract. Ar
tificial means was used, pressure on the
! chest to expei the air and cause the expi-
! rations. =..- ..s-;s... =
This was kept up for fifteen minutes be-
! fore any change was noticed. The blood
/ soon became more arterial In color as 1t
/ came from the wound, and the face as
sumed lifelike expression. The mus
/ cles of the eyes twitched when pressed by
! the finger. After time the eyes opened,
and the legs and arms began to move.
Water was placed to the patients lips
and he drank greedily. For two hours
the artificial breathing was kept up. The
tube was removed, and the wound was
closed with antiseptic dressing. The pa
tent, an hour after breathing was re.
stored, had an attack of delirium tremens,
the result of drinking. It took five men
to hold him, and the wound commenced
to bleed afresh, This was stopped, and
when the poison passed from the system,
after three days the respiration increased,
and it was evident that the patient would
recover. In two weeks he was able to GO
out and attend to his business. DR.. Fell
used very crude apparatus which he
employs in viyisection. He Is now per-
fecting an instr ument which can be used
by an operator in such cases as the one
described. The discovery is valuable
one, and will be of great use to the scien-
| tific world -Demorest's Monthly.

way. The long dark sides OF the mail
steamer, and her lofty upper deck, quite
dwarf the tender; the captain looking
down from his bridge seems far aloft
The ratings are lined with hundreds OF
faccs-there are fully a thousand passen-
gers on the ship-watching the mails
come on board. Every one except the
regular passengers between New York
and Liverpool, of whom there are always
several on board, look a little anxious.
Most of the poorer men and women are
sad
It is curious spectacleJto stand on the
bridge of the tender and look along the
sides of the ship at the great vessel and
the varying faces on her. But the last
bag is on board, the bell on the steamer is
sharply struck, and a few friends of the
passengers, a newspaper boy, and some
other miscellaneous persons hurry on
board the tender to go ashore. The haw-
sers are cast off and the little tug steams
ahead of the big ship, rounds to for the
shore when she has got some lengths
ahead, and is soon, with the quick, rapid
strokes of her wheels, making for the
quay at Queenstown. The great steamer
steals away to the sea with a kind of ire
sistible and almost imperceptible motion.

European Illustrated Paners.

I have been frequently asked what I
thought of the illustrated papers of the
Old World. My answer is, that they ap-
pear to me to be very much behind ours
in several respects, and notably in orsani-
cation. For example, the engrayers and
artists in Europe are allowed to take their
work home, where they do it each in his
own way, and of course such system
necessitates an enormous waste of time,
and prevents them from performing the
rapid high pressure featS which we &C
complsh in the United States. Although
European illustrated papers do not keep
abreast with the events of the moment as
ours do, still there is one point of superb
GRITTY which am forced to accord them,
viz, a more perfect finish and a more ar
tistic treatment, due, of course, to the
greater leisue of preparation.-Mrs.
Frank Leslie's Letter.

English Dislike of France.

It is singular how the English dislike
the French. This sentiment is prevalent
in the very best circles, and is equally
strong with the uneducated masses. The
secret Of the opposition to the construc-
ton of the tunnel does not arise from any
fear upon the part of those opposing this
scheme that England will be in any more
danger Of invasion after the completion of
such tunnel, but from invincible dislike
for the French. Said one of the best and
most Intelligent English gentlemen have
met in this country: ''We don't want
anything built OF done that can make
communication between this country and
France easy and more intimate than 1t
now is" Then he added In thoughtful,
contemplative way: 81 think 1 can say
without danger of exaggeration that hate
all Frenchmen, and do not know of a
single properly trained Englishman who
does not feel as do."-T. c. Crawford in
New York World.

An Automatic Lamp

B. B. Bunnell, of Bradford, Conn has
invented an automatic lamp which goes
by clockwork. When the right hour
comes cap is drawn over the wick, leav-
ing small blaze; the cap is lifted when
the lamp is needed again. Several of these
are in use in the streets of New London,
and go without any care for several days,
large tank of oil supplying then.--Bos.

THE QUEEN OF SALEsWOMEN.
An Artist in Whose Hands the Custome
Was as Helpless as an Infant.

An Artist in Whose Hands the Customer
Was as Helpless as an Infant.
A conversation overheard; the speakers
are feminine. ''How did you come to buy
these sheese They are very handsome,
but not at all your usual style.n "Well,
I've been pretending to everybody that
changed my mind about square toes, and
that bought them because I liked them,
but I'll confess to you that it was no such
thing; bought them because the sales
woman was clever enough to make me do
it." "She must have been clever in
deed" eyes. / don't wonder you say
80; generally take pleasure in declaring
my independence of the usual sales,
woman's dictum. When size tells me
what is the style, and what she is buying
for herself, and what will Just suit me, I
wouldn't buy what she recommends If I
wanted it so much that went to another
shop and got identically the same thing;
but the woman that sold me these shoes
was an.artist In whose hands was but a
helpless infant. To begin with, she was
q bright, CHEEKY little thing, and struck
me dumb with amazement from the first
by waiting on me as if it were a pleasure
for her to do it,
'Then she brought out these shoes with
lie remark that she was SO glad she had
this one pair of this kind, for she knew
they would fit me, as they had been made
to order, so much better than the regular
stock. How did it come that shoes made
to order were for sale to me? Why the
lady who ordered them had forced the
measurer to take her measure too small,
she was so anxious to have little feet, but
when she came to try them they were i'm
possible. She had gotten them SO small
that she simply could not stand up in
them, but then what perfection they were
on me; wouldn't just stand up and walk
about in them; did ever any one see such
a combination of ease and elegance? 'Of
course she went on, you never could
wear a, cheap shoe; they never make
cheap shoes with that high arched instep,
Look at others9 Oh, yes, certainly and
she came back as pleasantly as possible
with several pairs. But for them she had
nothing in particular to say, and she had
by this time, by her adroit fiattery of my
feet, inspired me with respect for her
judgment-you know we do so respect
the judgment of the people that admire
us-that quite hung my decision on her
approval:
"The flattery was Of the most artistic
kind; it was all said with the simplest,
most unconscious air of stating fact, and
when she said how these broad toes made
a small foot look smaller still, though they
were too conspicuous for big one, sur
rendered and bought shoe such as !
never expected to wear. OF course, the
fact is that they were ordered, and when
they were thrown back on their hands
they were too narrow to be generally sal
able. That queen of saleswomen knew
that they were the ones above all others
to get rid of, and willy or nilly, 80 far as
I flatter myself there are not three others
I am willing to put up with purchase 4
don't altogether like in consideration Of
having found an agreeable woman

Damn Air Not Injurious.

Damp air is not as injurious to the
lungs rs to the skin. The electric condi-
ton of the air has more to do with its un-
comfortableness than has its dampness.
When it is positive it is bracing and rer
freshing; when negative it debilitates
and Expresses. If the skin is warm no
fear need be felt of breathing damp or cool
air, either waking or sleeping.-Mrs. f..

Doctoring Wines in Paris.

OF the hundred and odd millions Of gal
Ions of wine that yearly enter Paris all is
as represented, the "doctoring' being
done after the wine has paid its duties
and passed into the hands of dealers.
The most harmless of these tricks is the
marking of ordinary vintages by the
name of some wine of much higher grade;
the next is making, say, three barrels out
Of two by adding distilled water and in
creasing the color by mixing in few
quarts of a wine grown in the department
of Loiret called ''black wine," from its
excess of natural coloring matter.
Besides all this large proportion of
the ''sherries," and practically all of the
"Madeiras" are made at Cette and else
where from rough native wines some
what doctored up to suit; these are, how
ever, principally used in cooking, are en-
tered at the custom house for what they
are and so sold to dealers. In fact, the
names have come to be SO well under
stood by all that the wines can hardly be
classed as receptions. As for marking
fair ordinary wine BIS Chateau LATTE or
Clos de Vougeot, it is probable that Noah
did something of the kind when he asked
friends to dine with him who were not
experts in fermented grape juice. ].

THEY SAY IF OUR BELOVED DEAD

They say If our beloved dead
Should seek the old familiar place.
Some stranger would be there instead,
And they would find no welcome lace.
/ cannot tell how it might be
In other homes-but this know
Could my lost darling come to me,
That she would never find 1t so.
Outlines the flowers have come and gone,
Outlines the winter winds have blown,
The while her peaceful rest went on,
And have learned to live alone.
Have slowly learned from day to day
In all life's tasks to bear my part;
But whether grave, Or whether gay,
hide her memory in my heart.
Fond, fs ithful love has blest my way.
And friends are round me true and tired;
They have their place-but hers to-day
Is empty as the day she died.
How would spring with bated breath,
And joy too deep for word or sign,
To take my darling home from death,
And once again to cal her mine.
/ dare not dream-the blissful dream,
1t fills my heart with wild unrest;
Where yonder cold white marbles CLEAN,
She still must slumber-God knows best.
But this know, that those who say
Our best beloved would find no place,
Have never hungered every day
Through years and years-for one sweet face.
